Not all celebrity deaths are cursed by drugs and alcohol, violence or mental illness; plenty of them happen naturally and without warning. But even in unexpected deaths, there are almost always signs and patterns that present trouble ahead. For instance, the recent death of British singer Amy Winehouse may or may not have been caused by her drug and alcohol addiction, but it certainly had an impact on her physical and mental well-being, which may also be to blame. We may never fully understand why James Dean died at the ripe age of 24 or why Marilyn Monroe overdosed on sleeping pills, but we do know that these specific celebrity deaths were tragically predictable.

I don't feel an ounce of pity for substance abusers. She had it all and she threw it away. I feel a lot for the family who must have been through hell seeing their daughter/sister put them through this hellhole called her life. I hope that at least now they find peace in their lives.
